In this paper, we report the study of proteinaceous binders in samples from a South
American Colonial 18th century painting using two complementary mass spectrometry …

The field of proteomic research, analogous to genomic research, has only recently
witnessed a rapid increase in its application to the study of ancient materials. Bone has been …

Molluscs were one of the most widely-used natural resources in the past, and their shells are
abundant among archaeological findings. However, our knowledge of the variety of shells …

Aim of this work is to propose an analytical protocol for proteinaceous binder identification in
paintings using tryptic peptide analysis and MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry strengthened …

Trypsin is the most used enzyme in proteomics. Nevertheless, proteases with
complementary cleavage specificity have been applied in special circumstances. In this …

This volume is a comprehensive continuation and extension of a previous edition published
in 2015 and presents the latest developments of the main pillars of protein analysis, namely …

Despite the growing body of evidence demonstrating that proteins can survive for thousands
to even millions of years in selected contexts, there are relatively few examples of the …

We performed proteomics analysis on four skin and one muscle tissue samples taken from
three ancient Egyptian mummies of the first intermediate period, approximately 4200 years …

Around the end of XIII century (at the time of young Marco Polo's first trip to China at the court
of Khubilai Khan in Khan Baliq) a pocket Bible was delivered by a Franciscan friar to the …

Proteomics is defined as the large-scale study of proteins in particular for their structures and
functions (Anderson and Anderson 1998), and investigations of proteins have become very …
